Hmmm.  Seems to me that this really should provoke at least a warning.
 After all, Mercurial already prevents you from doing really bad
things like redefining 'tip' or 'null'.  This isn't quite that bad,
but I can see someone coming from a Subversion background thinking
it's OK.

Also, the opposite order -- "hg tag x ; hg branch x" -- should also
trigger a warning.  IMHO.

I know we can't possibly catch every such conflict, but we should at
least get the easy ones.
